TFT draft unfairness

In my opinion, making the draft order by hp can be really unfair sometimes. And by sometimes, I mean like at least 50% of the times. There have been countless of games where someone in the last place wins just cause they have priority in the draft and get the item they want, even though they been winning every game since last draft. The draft phase could be more fair if for example you considered the win/loss ratio or hp loss since last draft not the overall hp. mostly the ones who have wins early game, lose late anyway cause of the comp falling off and by boosting the late game comps by giving them priority to get the champ/item they want in the draft is what makes it kind of unfair for every one.

Weird since the current meta is leveling up ASAP to try to get an early win streak.

I really don't feel that way, from my experience, a strong early snowballs into an easy top 4 in the end, while loosing early is incredible risky cause you drop to critical hp values rather quick. If you don't get lucky with your lategame comp, your out.

The trick is to properly transition into mid/late from early, which means you shouldn't be to attached to your low tier units and be willing to sell some. Also keep your items in mind. If you get lots of AP, don't try to scale with a gunslinger comp, they rely on their broken on-hit interaction for the lategame.

That is ALL part of the tactics and its VERY MUCH needed in the game. You can lose early, gain gold and at 50 roll and level up to get strong late game. But there is LOTS of downsides to this tactics even tho you get to pick item first. First its risky, you get strong guy that leveled and he gets you for 20+ hp, you need to ruin your economy to roll and get strong team but WAIT 6 other guys went for early game and picked champions they want so chance of you getting strong champ are weaker cause they took meta champs and you will mostly get weaker/off-meta champs and thats second problem, good champs are taken, also you have low hp so if somebody counters your comp youre already low and he can finish you easy. not to mention you can lose to neutral monsters which are BIG IMPORTANCE (krugs and wolfs mostly since by time of raptors youre strong or dead). Another problem is time limit, even if you have 70 gold and 30 hp there is 30 sec for preparation so if you go for rolling you dont have time to position and think so imo having 50 gold is bad unless youre on win streak and 80+ hp.

You can observe this quite well in meta and higher level players, in plat and diamond on start EVERYONE have champs with items and even roll to get at least 1 2 star unit cause hp is SOOO IMPORTANT while my second acc is in bronze and its so easy to get 5-8 win streak until they start to buff some champs. So carousel is great cause if you have plan you can time your power spike, you win some games and start losing before SECOND CAROUSEL, pick first and pickup gnar or akali and build around them but for that tactics you need to be very careful or you can lose easily. Plenty of more reasons why your statement is wrong
